Bodycam Shows Man Fatally Shot By Cops Swinging Bat At Officer

** (Disclaimer: Video posted strictly for educational and information purposes only) **
Police released video Wednesday showing a man swinging a baseball bat at a police officer before being fatally shot outside a federal courthouse in southern Indiana. Evansville police released security camera video showing 55-year-old Ricky Ard smashing two of the courthouse’s front door windows Tuesday morning, along with video from an officer’s body camera. The videos show at least two courthouse security officers drawing guns but not following Ard as he stayed outside the building and walked away. Other angles show him starting back toward the building after a city police officer arrived. That officer, identified as 11-year police force veteran Kenny Duschke, yelled at Ard and tried to hit him with a stun gun before the man charged at the officer with the bat. The video shows the officer backpedaling and firing about a half-dozen shots. Evansville police spokesman Sgt. Jason Cullum said during a news conference that Duschke appears to have acted appropriately to defend himself.

“When he made the decision to chase after the officer and attempt to strike him with a deadly weapon, unfortunately, he created a situation that led to his own death,” Cullum said. Cullum said Ard had visited the Winfield K. Denton Federal Building on Monday and expressed “concerns about the government.” The building includes federal court offices and other federal agencies. Cullum declined Wednesday to discuss Ard’s complaints. Ard returned about 11:20 a.m. Tuesday to the courthouse in the city along the Ohio River, according to police. Cullum said a courthouse security officer also shot at Ard, but videos didn’t clearly show when that happened. One of the security officers told Duschke to use a stun gun on Ard, but it was “ineffective,” Cullum said. “We know that one of the probes did make impact because as he ran after the officer you can actually see the Taser dragging on the ground behind him, because the probe was either in his clothes or in his person and the wires were still attached to the Taser,” he said.

  1. 莫斯科警方粗暴逮捕上千人 按頭、抓臉致多人骨折
    示威現場爆發嚴重警民衝突,警方除了衝進把示威者驅趕至市中心小巷內,並以警棍鎮壓,很多人都被打到頭破血流,隨後被帶往警局
    這才叫真正的鎮壓
    不愧是戰鬥民族
    台港警方都太仁慈了
    看看香港就再清楚不過了。和平統一所帶來的麻煩是沒完沒了的,因為人心不服。列強不服,港人不服,尤其台灣人更不服。
    想想台灣菁英蔣渭水的名言,以台灣的民性,你沒有殺人,何以立威?若是大開殺戒,則人心歸順,辜寬敏會打著五星紅旗迎接解放軍,就像他爸爸一百一十年前打開台北城門歡迎日本皇軍進城一樣。這是不能否認的台灣歷史。
    台灣人都有一個毛病,就是不打不成器,怎麼可能沒有挨打就服你?和平統一以後從此不得安寧,任何民生問題都可以耍賴歸咎大陸,一大堆人三天兩頭跑到美國國會去告洋狀。大陸不能怪他們,這些人沒挨過打為什麼要做中國人?他們心中不服,他們寧願做曾經痛打他們的日本人。
